How can I start the JFileChooser in the Details view?

Question

I would like my JFileChooser to start in details view, instead of the "List" view that it starts in. How do you do that?

Answer 1

You can get the Action from the ActionMap:

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JFileChooser  fileChooser = new JFileChooser(".");
Action details = fileChooser.getActionMap().get("viewTypeDetails");
details.actionPerformed(null);
fileChooser.showOpenDialog(frame);
